Some even say that they didn't purchase the 5th album because they could not stand the album cover.
Did I mention I changed all the track's covers (digital version) by using MP3 Tag?
Listening to upbeat tracks while looking at that cover.... was unbearable. The cover was very much at odds with more than half of the album. It could work with songs like GYWYL or even BG but not RNR of HTNGU. She should have gone with a more playful looking cover to match the majority of the songs - HTNGU, 17, RNR, BS, SOS, YASNY, HK, BG and even positive songs like FF.

The fans in my country were extremely shocked when they first saw the cover, but decided that it was "a standard beauty of the western people, which eastern people cannot comprehend".
lol obviously it wasn't

The actual cover looks by miles better than the fan-made; more professional.

Professional, yet horrifying.

Even something like that fan made cover would have been better (if obviously done professionally). Even if it still only matches with half the album, at least it isn't so terrifying.

A more subtle change would of been better imo, like the fan made cover.

I do like that Avril tried something new with the extreme eye makeup and putting her hair up for a change and using a headshot, but IMO they went about it totally wrong. She looks scary.

Avril is very fair-skinned and looks really pale sometimes; she's Canadian, so I guess her pale complexion makes sense (since people living further north tend to have lighter skin). But the bright headshot really pronounces it. I don't think the extreme brightness of her face compliments her very well.
Plus, the cover posted above is the cover that some iTunes stores have and the colors are edited. The actual album cover has more evened colors and doesn't look as gaudy as the one above does.
